V

Transliteration

Nayam atma bala-hinena labhyo.

Translation

This soul cannot be won by the weakling.

Comment

True, a weak aspirant cannot realise his soul. Again, who can really be strong before he has realised his soul? A weak aspirant is God in His perfecting aspiration. A strong aspirant is God in His manifesting realisation.
